YOUR Honest Opinions. KZ2 and KZ3.

So what's the general consesus between these two games on the Killzone 2 forums? If you are a Killzone 2 vet, what did you like about KZ3? What did you dislike/hate/despise? Was Killzone 3 a disaster in your eyes? Is there any hope of ever seeing another hardcore Killzone game that doesn't intentionally try and grab the Call of Duty audience and fail? Be as in depth and detailed as you like.

Re: YOUR Honest Opinions. KZ2 and KZ3.

Its probably quicker to list the bad on KZ2 and the good on KZ3

 

KZ2 bad points:

 

1.Needed more customization on bot zone ( random skill levels so some bots were Elite and some lower levels)

 

2.Needed an online co-op mode ( Horde mode )

 

3.Abillity to disable turrets and airbots without taking out the engy or tact.

 

4.Theatre mode

 

KZ3 Good points:

 

1.Operation mode ( even though they only gave us 3 maps WTF! )

Klz3 likes: operations

                    brutal kills although imo it should only work when the target is low on health

                    more customization

Klz3 was a REAL let down for me. Hopefully klz4 will be more like klz2.

Killzone 3:

 

-Slightly improved graphics + 3D

-Improved Controls

-Operation Mode

-Weapons expansion

-Speaker zone for SnR

 

Literally everything else is a down grade in comparison to Killzone 2, everything.

Re: YOUR Honest Opinions. KZ2 and KZ3.

The only thing that i think KZ3 did better was fixing the bot spam issue of KZ2 by limiting 1 for per engy. I really can't think of anything else... lol

 

Graphics in my opinion were not really better... sure they are more detailed than KZ2 but technically KZ2 wins. I don't see cool smoke effects like on KZ2 with spawn grenades, you can even see the wind move the smoke. Things like frag grenades look like crap on KZ3 compared to KZ2.

This although I would add the kz3 medals as a great kz3 addition and the squad lobby where clans can chat on mic to sort out cms etc rather than use text chat.

Re: YOUR Honest Opinions. KZ2 and KZ3.

Actually there are a few more that people have already mentioned,

 

Not being able to camp speaker in home base and forced respawns, limited bots and voice chat not being disabled while loading next map ( but proxy voice chat missing is very bad )

 

As for better graphics NO WAY KZ2 still rules in that department.

I didn't like the limited bots in kz3, cloud mentioned the SnR zone area, forced respawn didn't work as people just left the game then rejoined then left again in gw cms. Agreed on chat staying during loading and the fact that your whole faction could hear you not just those in your squad is very useful.

Re: YOUR Honest Opinions. KZ2 and KZ3.

Well for me Killzone2 is the best game I've ever played on PS3 maybe even on any platform. It is very unique and sadly I don't think there will be another game like it, not even KZ4 because devs aren't really interested in what we want and it's all about the MONEY.

 

Killzone3 is a JOKE and underlines what I said above. It was made for the casual gamer and it shows... Not to have server browsers and custom games on a FPS in 2011 is pathetic and a big step backwards IMO. They took everything that was unique about KZ2 and ripped it all out to start again.. who in the right mind would do that?

 

So KZ2 was made with care and attention to detail and KZ3 was made for PROFIT making money out of the Killzone name and pushing sony hardware.
